Abstract
This dissertation assesses the security of current communication protocols within the
vehicle charging infrastructure. Although each protocol works in a unique way, all
protocols work for the same purpose, so each protocol also has unique security
vulnerabilities and thus requires unique security solutions and recommendations to
strengthen its security and facilitate the safe operation of its functions.
A variety of security vulnerabilities within protocols affecting communications in
vehicle charging infrastructure have been revealed. These vulnerabilities are used by
hackers to gain unauthorized access to these vehicles with the purpose of increasing
the cost of powering them or jeopardizing their owners' privacy. In the future, electric
charging stations will be widely available and will use communication protocols
which make security breaches possible. In this dissertation, the security vulnerabilities
of each protocol are discussed and evaluated, and the security requirements which
must be met in each communication are outlined. A proposed set of security
improvements designed to overcome all current security vulnerabilities is offered.
